How to handle sugar cravings when you are on diet?

Once you fill your stomach with a meal, there should not be any cravings. But many people have the habit of binging something immediately after their meal or any time of the day. The majority of people crave sugar.

Why one craves sugar? Is this your body's requirement for its normal function? No, it's not.

This craving is from your brain. Health professionals believe that this is one of the major reasons it can be so hard to stick to a healthy diet.

Here are a few steps to handle cravings:-

* If you are hungry, eat a healthy and filling meal including protein and fat.

* Fill your kitchen with healthy snacks. Many people stock unhealthy stuff, so that when they feel bored they will end up eating unhealthy.

* Go for a brisk walk: Distancing yourself from the food that you are craving is good to avoid it. Exercise will release endorphins. It's a feel-good chemical in your brain, which can help turn the craving off.

* Drink water: Some people want to take sugar when they are dehydrated. Drinking water will help you come out of the craving.

* Avoid certain triggers: Sometimes Environment and association make us eat unwanted stuff. If you know such triggers avoid them.

* Multivitamins: Vitamin deficiency also showed up in terms of craving. Come out from such deficiency by eating multivitamins.

* Don't starve: Keeping your stomach half-empty can lead you to crave the immediate energy source which is sugar.
